So about as useful as us here as far as getting anything to actually happen :(

Don’t be like Hannity should be part of our education.
Sean Hannity is one of the worst propagandists out there and absolute going for the award for scum of the earth 2024. I fucking hate that guy with every fiber of my being.
Carrying across the line isn’t good enough. It needs to be resounding.
The goal is a repeat of Bush V Gore where in this case Trump leads early on and then the assholes in Georgia call foul on some district essentially hitting pause where Trump was ahead they then petition the SCOTUS to give them a ruling to stop counting after X time as it will now be considered “too long after the election.”
“I’m not going to go to some backwoods country and tell them how to live their lives, but I’m going to go to some backwoods country and tell them how to live their lives!”
Hate and Ignorance: The American Way™
Literally plan A is to fucking steal the election… They spent the last 4 years brainwashing The Base to believe the election was stolen so that they can do it brazenly this time and they’ll feel justified in doing it…
I’m generally a pessimistic person, but I see absolutely no way that we win this…
People say vote in numbers that can’t be ignored, except we never vote in those kinds of numbers and with Trump not being in office and the collective amnesia we seem to have about how terrible he was, I don’t see turnout being that great this time around…
I think those people might not, but I was once a “conspiracy nut,” had a circle of friends who were as well, and know that for a lot of those kinds of people YouTube is the majority of the “research” they do. For those people I think this could work as long as it’s not hallucinating and can point to proper sources.
“Great! Billy doesn’t believe 9/11 was an inside job, but now the AI made him believe Bush was actually president in 1942 and that Obama was never president.”
In all seriousness I think an “unbiased” AI might be one of the few ways to reach people about this stuff because any Joe schmoe is just viewed as “believing what they want you to believe!” when they try to confront any conspiracy.
Speaking out against Isreal is antisemitic…
But also: ThErE aRe ArAbS iN IsRaEl So ThEy ArEnT rACiSt!
Ok… So if Isreal isn’t entirely a Jewish state then being critical of Isreal is NOT equal to being critical of Jews right? Right?
Oh of course it is! Logic doesn’t apply here!
I hate this world…
Could be, but in my experience that phrase is never followed by something good. :/
So why does this only show Republican states as actually banning it? Yeah I’m with you on Democrats slow walking this issue, but Republicans are actively banning it. Until that changes we’re stuck with only those two options. Corpo Dems or corpo-fascist Republicans…

Yeah, it’s short for “miss me with that independent shit, pay up!”
We’re in such a wonderful position: Kamala does nothing about Israel like she’s paid to do and Palestinians die.
Trump wins and not only does nothing about Palestine, but encourages Bibi to go harder, more Palestinians die annnnd we get to enjoy the beginning of a fascist dictatorship!
Notice how Stein isn’t even mentioned in the above? You can claim it’s about putting pressure on Kamala all you like, but this is the literal election. When she loses because of this “pressure” (that isn’t pressure, it’s literally not voting for her at all) what’s the outcome? It sure as hell has nothing to do with Stein being anywhere.
We’ve been having this argument about the green party for fucking decades and what progress/policies have they “forced” the Democrats to adopt?
So just going to chime in here with a little advice that really should be obvious, but don’t tell someone who is suicidal to just get over themselves.
A person wants to end their existence and your only reply is to completely dismiss their pain as absurd. As someone who is suicidal pretty much every day, the whole point is not wanting to exist in this pain and not seeing any way out of it. There’s nothing to “get over” as people like us think of ourselves as the lowest form of garbage imaginable. A joke I often make is “Hitler had more redeeming qualities than I do.”
The only thing accomplished wtih your statement is making you feel better about yourself, it doesn’t help the other person at all so the whole “got nothing nice to say, don’t say anything” applies here.
I feel similar but I wouldn’t say I particularly hate my parents.
I was an accident and honestly if anything I’m very frustrated that the only reason I was born was that my grandmother is super religious and refused to even entertain the idea of an abortion, hell she’s even responsible for my name (again from the fucking goddamn Bible. For me that’s ironic since I loath most organized religion.) but my parents in no way should have gotten together. I think my mom was just attractive and my dad is a pig for sex (I recognize some of that in myself so I guess I got that from him… Thanks…)
As others have mentioned it’s not so much that the entirety of all 38 years of my life sucked, but for me I have a distinct memory at 11 years old of having this feeling that something wanted me to kill myself because it just kept “poking” at me, making life miserable in various ways. I gave the sky the finger and said “fuck you I’m not doing that” simply out of spite of whatever it was. (I don’t believe anything like that now). So I have to imagine childhood wasn’t as bad although I did have to live through 2 stepfathers that both wished I didn’t exist probably as much as I do.
Anxiety runs rampant through my father’s side of the family and I’ve definitely been depressed for the entirety of my teenage and adult life. The world wouldn’t be affected by my passing, but I sure as hell would love to hit the “off button” as well. All that said, if women even found me worthy, I would never want to pass these absolute garbage genes on to anyone. That should be a crime thats how shitty they are (except my immune system, that seems pretty ok lol)
Everything a rich person does is Correct™ because they’re rich and obviously that means God™ blessed them.

Very very well put!
I think if you made a word bubble of all the comments I’ve made the largest bubble by far would be “I fucking hate propagandists!!”
Here we go again. This article is just one of many like it - “Maybe” “could” “Fears raise” “warning” etc. etc.
A-fucking-men!
All this if if if is fucking insane!
I get they need to be “impartial” but there’s no way in hell this is “if” or “maybe” it’s fucking plan B! Plan A is just win of course, but this is their actual plan.
I’m normally a pessimistic person so take this with a grain of salt, but I have absolutely 0 hope that we actually win this. I’m 100% convinced the fix is already in.
Still vote! But I completely expect Trump to be handed the election…
I literally just posted comments in 2 other threads expressing this concern.
I absolutely expect if Trump “loses” he’ll not only have lost the popular vote, he’ll have lost the electoral college vote, but they’ll refuse to certify to solidify that fact and he’ll “win” by ratfuckery. Having the election tossed to state votes which the Republicans have the majority of…
I don’t expect Trump to lose this election no matter what happens…
Still vote of course. But y’all better riot when they pull this shit. And unlike J6 crybabies, do it knowing it’s civil disobedience and that we’d deserve the jail time we’d get. Expect it, it’s the “right” thing to do.
Honestly it would be an open and shut case here in the US.
My neighbor throws grenades into my window, me running into their house with my friends and shooting everyone there who looks like they might have had a grenade is not self-defense…
